Dear Father

The movie is based on the age old Indian premise that a son has to put his father on a pedestal and worship him even when he disrespects your partner at every possible opportunity ( a PhD , gold medallist maths teacher should cook ) , accuse her of infidelity ( just because she comes home at 11 one night) and tries to destroy your relationship. The father character is unbelievably dislikable and hard to empathise with. Then enters the moral police ( literally) who decides to teach some lessons to the couple for not worshipping their father. He does this by leveling false accusations of suicide and murder and what not. In the end, the kids understand their mistake , bring back their father who will now continue to torture them for the rest of his life. Oh also, the couple decides to withdraw their case against the moral police officer because apparently they needed that lesson. Unbelievable!

Heartwarming, Awesome movie. Paresh Rawal makes you laugh a lot. Amazing performance by whole team.

Good to watch movie with strong and emotional message at the end.

Absolutely Brilliant!

The only thing good about the movie was the acting of Paresh Sir and his comic timing. The story gave a good build-up at the beginning, but the ending was something else.

I saw the movie cos of Paresh Rawal and that also two of them but his character as a father in law is not in tune with today's times.

His worries about children coming late sre understandable but to involve the whole world in it might be good comedy but not workable in real life. His views about money might have suited his generation but if children are earning well they have the right to lead a more comfortable life.

Some of his observations about family life are correct but to think that a daughter in law is good only if she cooks is very regressive.

We talk of educating girls and then expect them to forget about their qualifications and enter the kitchen. Why do we expect only the girls to balance their work and home life with the boys not contributing anything to the home except the money.

Tis a very patriarchal view of life especially now when many girls are earning more than their husbands but are still expected to be second rated.

Let their be equality amongst genders for a smoother life cos as they say that the chariot of life runs smoothly only if both the wheels are balanced.

"Dear Father" is a touching Gujarati film that explores the complexities of family relationships, featuring a standout performance by Paresh Rawal.

The movie's strength lies in its excellent concept, which sheds light on aspects of life often overlooked. Through heartfelt storytelling, it prompts viewers to reflect on their own relationships and appreciate the intricacies of family bonds.

The emotional depth of "Dear Father" resonates long after the credits roll, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. It's a testament to the power of Gujarati cinema to deliver meaningful narratives that tug at the heartstrings and provoke introspection.

Overall, "Dear Father" is a must-watch for its compelling storyline, superb performances, and insightful exploration of family dynamics. It stands out as a gem in Gujarati cinema, showcasing the potential of regional films to captivate and inspire audiences.
